Relook over Project Plan

Synopsis
‘Nick’ will be a romantic comedy, based on a male protagonist whose life we follow in order to get an insight into a stereotypical young British man’s life. It will huge twist about a heartbreaking love square between a British gentleman and three other women, taking influential themes from Shakespeare’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’.

Target Audience

The target audience that I want my teaser to aim for are older adolescents and adults who enjoy watching films about love, partying and London in general.

Similar Films
Teaser trailers that I have watched in detail and considered to have a similar synopsis are Alfie, Bridget Jones, John Tucker Must Die and Mean Girls.

Actors/Actresses
I would like to use an actor who has a petite yet attractive stature, blonde with blue eyes and charm. The three girls should all be of different races and cultures to make it seem more interesting and illustrate Nick’s character as a young man who has the ability to attract any woman.

Seasons
It would be really interesting to experiment with a variety of shots in different weathers. For example, shots with sunshine would contrast well with a rainy day or if lucky, snow.


Post-Production of Teaser

After revising the project plan, I can identify a few changes within our group's project plan. Aspects such as the choice of actors and actresses remained the same as we did select Nick, who has a petite yet eye catching nature to the target audience. As for the girls, we chose a range of cultures from English to Middle Eastern to widen the audience and become an international film.

As for the film obtaining traditional intertextual themes from Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' through the love square but also being fairly similar to the modern Mean Girls and John Tucker Must Die remained the same.

What has changed is the target audience, ranging out towards men, women, boys and girls of all ages, men for being in the shoes of Nick and women to experience a journey in the life of a stereotypical British man. Additionally, the use of different seasons worked well with the continuity of the prospective film, having a different season defining each girl's personality.

Overall, the project plan fitted in well with our criteria of what we wanted our teaser to look like and what atmosphere it creates for target audiences.
